I used to be a regular poster here but took a long hiatus from bowling when kids and life took precedence. I'm looking to get back in.

I'm wondering out of today's equipment is anyone making a ball with a strong core but a tamer cover?  Something that will rev up nicely in the mid-lane but not go crazy or burn up when it hits the friction.  I understand that drilling and surface prep make a big difference, but even a few years ago I did well with older balls with strong cores but mellower coverstocks.

Thanks

If can throw 16lb can't recommend that Immortal Pearl enough on house shot if you don't have a lot of hand.  Been in a funk lately and busted that ball out today and funk over.  I love how the huge engine in that ball gives me an awesome predictable curl in the last 15 feet stronger than I usually see and because ball always gets in roll due to its core, it hits a ton and even going through the nose often isn't punished.  Ball even gives me messengers which is usually not my game.  9" (ugh insert phallic joke here) of flare is insane.  Great ball and sad to see the company go.
